WOW

Mew-oh-my, those blue eyes !!!!  
They are SO cute and full of Chap Mei-charm

Thank you!

Wonderful cat figures. I didn't know them. I agree they have an oriental look on them. It would be interesting to find more information about these figures.

Also after years with tons of figures it is possible to see unknown figures :)

Great newbies! Congrats on the kitties.

Thanks.I also was surprised that Chap Mei made domestic cats!

I am adding two more Chap Mei Cats here that I have acquired long time ago:

Very cute kitties. 

Very rare models,

Nice Kitties

Congrats again

These Chap Mei cats are so beautiful and I have never seen them before!!!
I love how they have got that wonderful 'cat' look, with some cat models they don't quite have that feel about them but these two are soo gorgeous!
Like their dogs I love these models, thank you for sharing them!

I have one (1rst picture on right), they are big!..

I would love to open on TAW a section for Chap Mei Cats using these pictures but without knowing their breeds, I don't have enough knowledge about the subject to do it. They are very beautiful, I hope someone has a good idea or info to these figures find a place in the wiki.

Roger, it will be great to add the Chap Mei cat models on TAW but I doubt that we can identify the breeds Or, at least, I personally cannot be positive for a specific breed for any one of them.

If you decide to add the cats, I will make some better photos with size comparison, just let me know.

If they're not made after any breed. I can list them with color + pose. Though, I also don't know cat colors. The 2nd from Taylor must be a Calico and the first one pose is cat saying goodbye.
Can anyone make a list based on color/pose?

This is my proposal for a list, from top to bottom and left to right of the presented photos:

Cat playing, shorthaired ticked brown (or brown-grey) tabby
Cat standing, shorthaired calico (this is questionable as the marks are too few for true calico)
Cat walking, shorthaired cream
Cat walking, shorthaired cinnamon
Cat sitting, shorthaired ticked yellow tabby
Cat standing, longhaired white

Thanks Maria, I made a list based on your suggestions:

Shorthair Cat Playing (grey tabby)
Shorthair Cat Standing with Fluffy Tail (Calico)
Shorthair Cat Walking with Tail UP (Cream)
Shorthair Cat Walking with Curled Tail (cinnamon)
Shorthair Cat Sitting (yellow tabby)
Longhair Cat Standing (white)

It is basically the same as yours but warranting that each mould as a different name and allowing to keep a coerent naming if we find figures of the same mould with different colors. Thanks, now it is time to gather pictures.

After 6 mo+ and a lot of digging in my storage boxes I found (only) three of the Chap Mei cats and I am sending their photos for TAW. ]
Sorry for the delay

The cats are really good. Especially for Chap Mei :)

Thanks Maria for all your effort to find these cats. I added them on TAW!

Hello.
Don't know if my info will help but about Chap Mei Cats and Kittens. They came out in 2004 - 2006, 6 cats breeds and 3 white kittens, no breed. Markings were mostly on the faces because the cats wore outfits. They had playsets: tent, hammock, playground set, swing, skate ramp, kitchen, 6 playsets in all with lots of clothes, hats, shoes, boots, accessories.
The cats were called:
Shorthair Gray Tabby (playing)
Shorthair Yellow Tabby (sitting)
Longhair White Persian (touch of dark color around face)
Calico (2 colors on face)
Siamese (all brown w/ darker brown on face)
Bengal (cream with spots)
Then there were 3 white kittens in different poses.
These were all the cats I ever found.
